NY Bagel Cafe & Deli Rancho Cucamonga CA — Restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga

Surprisingly, the seed for this review began with the news: New York is running out of cream cheese for their bagels. Not being a bagel eater, I didn't think to much of it and skimmed the article. But as I was skimming the article, I came upon the word "Lox". Curious, I looked up the strange new word and discovered that Lox were lightly brined (sometimes smoked) pieces of salmon served on a bagel with onion, cream cheese, and capers. Now intrigued (and always on the look out for new things), I had to try it. I started my search for bagel shops on Google of course and found several locations with one being literally minutes away, NY Bagel Cafe and Deli. Located in a small shopping center, a bit hidden, the cafe was deceptively bigger than it looked. The interior was wide and open with a New York themed decor. The staff, who were busy behind the counter, were friendly and had my to-go order ready in no time. The bagel itself was wonderful. I've had bagels with cream cheese before and knew what I was expecting, but the Lox added a subtle savory punch. The Lox had a fresh taste and silky texture further reinforced by the cream cheese. Together, both contrasted nicely with the robust and crunchy bagel. Really, a wonderful combination. Check...

Where to start?! This place is absolutely amazing. Great food! From there croissant breakfast sandwiches to their breakfast burritos, bagels and cream cheese, and the deli sandwiches. Everything is delicious. I'm in love with thier Carmel frappes. Their food is always freshly prepared and hot on a plate. You will not make it far through the door before being greeted by a super friendly staff. The owners almost always come out and ask if everything is ok and if there is anything they can do for me. I've never met such a friendly hard working staff. The store is very well maintained with tables and counters and machines constantly being cleaned. The owners have done an amazing job with N.Y. Bagel and continue to renovate thier menu. If you want great food, great service, for a great price N.Y. Bagel is your place. This is not your average bagel place, this is an authentic New York bagel shop that has been run properly. I highly reccomend to my family, friends, and...

Stopped into grab some breakfast bagels, never been here before so it took us a minute to choose. The owners were very helpful with suggestions and letting us know what type of meats they have to choose from. I wanted to try their Asiago cheese Bagel sounded delicious, unfortunately it tasted like a plain bagel but it was still nice and soft. Wasn't too much a fan of the bacon it was a little to overdone for me but the eggs were nicely done. Now, the Everything Bagel my sister got on the other hand that was amazing! You could taste everything, she got it with sausage. Usually I skip out on the breakfast sausage but this time it was fine. We definitely wouldn't mind coming back for more of...
